My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 335 - 211: Su Qing’s Nemesis
"I disagree."
Song Jiaren's expression was calm, but her tone was unquestionable.
Although Song Yiren agreed, her agreement was futile.
Su Qing looked at Song Jiaren and asked, "Are you really willing to give up the Martial Path for him?"
Song Jiaren nodded.
Cultivation certainly held an important place in her heart.
Yet, there were always some people and things more important than cultivation.
Su Qing wanted to say more, but Song Zhe interrupted her, saying, "The children have grown up, and they have their own ideas. We parents should not worry anymore..."
Watching her parents walk away hand in hand, Song Yiren felt as if she were dreaming.
Was that it?
She had prepared herself mentally.
Yet, it had been entirely unnecessary.
She had not even brought up the matter of taking her back.
Upon arriving in Chang'an and seeing her father, her mother seemed to have changed.
Regardless, she had escaped a calamity.
With her mother at the Song Residence, she did not want to return.
She looked at Li Nuo and pleaded, "Can I stay at your house?"
Facing her pleading eyes, what could Li Nuo say? The Li Mansion had many spare rooms and absolutely no fear of not having enough space.
Li Nuo also did not want to deal with a mother-in-law that neither got along with each other. After discussing with his wife, they decided not to continue living at the Song Residence.
It would be best to dispel the idea of sending his wife to the Sanqing Sect.
Otherwise, Li Nuo would let her know who really had the say in Chang'an.
It was no issue if his wife could not have children.
There was still Anning.
In time, he would have her bear a couple more.
Song Yiren chose to live next door, a courtyard that originally belonged to his wife and had been vacant for a long time.
The night deepened, and as Li Nuo lay in bed mulling over various matters, he suddenly heard a voice beside him.
"Husband."
"Hmm?"
Song Jiaren paused for a moment then said, "I want to visit the Sanqing Sect."
Li Nuo turned his head and asked, "Why?"
Holding his hand tightly under the quilt, Song Jiaren said, "I want us to have children."
Her physique had become extremely cold due to practicing the Extreme Yin Coldness Cultivation Technique, making it nearly impossible for her to conceive unless a Sixth Realm expert from the Sanqing Sect who practiced Yang Cultivation Techniques could help improve her constitution, or unless she herself advanced to the Sixth Realm.
Li Nuo could teach her swordsmanship but could not change her constitution.
If it was just a visit to the Sanqing Sect, that would be nothing to worry about.
Besides, didn't he also want to have children with his wife?
Li Nuo gently patted her hand and said, "Let's talk about it after the wedding."
Song Jiaren obediently nodded.
Li Nuo gently kissed her forehead and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Housekeeper Wu had someone calculate it. The fortune-teller said we would have twins in the future..."
...
The next morning, after Li Nuo got up and freshened himself, he planned to visit several Grandmasters.
Although he had already grasped the swordsmanship insights and no longer needed them, it would be ungracious to forget their past assistance. A Grandmaster's power was limited, but behind them stood various sects, and fostering more friendships was never a mistake.
Furthermore, in theory,
letting his wife and Yiren spar with Grandmasters from different sects would be beneficial for them.
The three had just left the Li Mansion when a figure approached them.
With her husband gone to the government office that day, Su Qing did not want to stay at the Song Residence and after much thought, she decided to visit Jiaren and Yiren.
On seeing her, Yiren instinctively hid behind Li Nuo.
Su Qing looked at them and asked, "Are you going out?"
If Li Nuo had left earlier, he could have avoided her, but since they had met, he had no choice but to bring her along.
Along the way, she talked with Jiaren and Yiren, seemingly deliberately ignoring Li Nuo.
Li Nuo was happy to be unbothered.

The garden gifted by King Chun was named Ningxin Garden.
Li Nuo walked into this garden, passing through two long corridors, and saw several figures standing in the clearing not far ahead.
Su Qing suddenly stopped.
Even in the Sanqing Sect, there were only thirteen Grandmasters.
But here, there were seven.
In Daxia, aside from the Sanqing Sect, no other sect had more than seven grandmasters.
Li Nuo stepped forward, held his fist to his chest, and said, "I've met several seniors."
The people also smiled and greeted Li Nuo, their eyes turning to a woman behind him. After a slight pause, they all clasped their fists.
"Miss Su."
"Elder Su."
…
The Sanqing Sect often held Martial Path assemblies, and well-known strong figures from Jianghu would participate. They were naturally familiar with the grandmasters of the Sanqing Sect.
Especially this prodigy who had become a grandmaster at the age of thirty. Anyone who didn't know her was not a significant figure in their own right.
However, rumor had it that Su Qing was devoted to cultivation and had not left the Sanqing Sect for more than ten years. Seeing her in Chang'an was truly a surprise.
Su Qing, of course, recognized them as well: the Law Enforcement Elder of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, the Sword Path Master of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and another whose face she did not know, but who also possessed the prowess of a grandmaster.
After returning their greetings, she asked, "What brings you all here?"
Xu Jing explained, "We had agreed to meet here to discuss the Sword Dao, and did not expect to encounter Elder Su. What brings Elder Su to Chang'an?"
Su Qing replied indifferently, "My husband and children are in Chang'an. Can't I come to Chang'an?"
Everyone was internally shocked.
Wasn't it said that Elder Su and her husband had fallen out? Could the rumors be false?
However, this was their private affair, and as outsiders, it wasn't appropriate for them to inquire.
After exchanging pleasantries, they continued with the competition they had been engaged in.
Aside from sect-held Martial Path assemblies, it was rare to encounter so many Sword Path Masters at once. Though the Sanqing Sect had more than ten grandmasters, not many were practitioners of the Sword Dao, and their cultivation techniques were primarily limited to their sect's traditions, which didn't lend much significance to their exchange.
When Su Qing saw them demonstrating their swordsmanship on stage, she also felt an itch to join. After the Hua Mountain Sect's grandmaster defeated the Song Mountain Sect's grandmaster, she leaped onto the stage and said, "Let me also experience your Hua Mountain Swordsmanship…"
The Sanqing Sect had a collection of Martial Arts from all over, and Su Qing, being a Sword Path Master, was naturally well-versed in Hua Mountain Swordsmanship.
Yue Yang's Hua Mountain Swordsmanship had integrated new sword moves and unexpected changes, which temporarily put her at a disadvantage.
But she quickly thought of a counter-strategy. Her sword moves shifted, and within a few breaths, she turned the tide and instead pushed Yue Yang onto the back foot.
The watching grandmasters were amazed.
Truly, a rare genius who had become a grandmaster at thirty; such adaptability in the moment was unmatched by anyone present.
Moments later,
Faced with Su Qing's fierce onslaught, Yue Yang retreated from the stage, held his sword in salute, and said admiringly, "Elder Su's swordsmanship is exquisite; I am far inferior…"
Having the rare opportunity to spar with a powerhouse from the Sanqing Sect, the others naturally did not want to miss it. Xu Jing leaped onto the stage and bowed, "Heavenly Mountain Sect, Xu Jing, seeks guidance from Elder Su…"
Li Nuo stood below the stage, watching these Sword Path Masters be defeated one after the other.
Merely in terms of swordsmanship, they were indeed not on the same level as Lady Mother-in-law.
Their sword techniques, though varied, still adhered to their sect's styles.
Lady Mother-in-law's swordsmanship, however, blended many different styles.
To overcome her, one must master those styles and understand the counter relationship among various sword techniques, coupled with a quick reaction in the moment.
Xu Jing approached Li Nuo and asked, "Young friend, what do you think of Elder Su's swordsmanship? Is there a way to break it?"
Li Nuo said, "It's passable. Though flexible in the moment, it still has many flaws."
Having just defeated the Song Mountain Sect's grandmaster, Su Qing, upon hearing this, jumped down and, with a frown, said, "What did you just say? You said my swordsmanship has flaws? What do you know about swordsmanship?"
Xu Jing was inwardly surprised. It seemed that Elder Su didn't quite understand who her son-in-law was.
If he doesn't understand swordsmanship, who among the present grandmasters would dare claim to understand?
The grandmasters naturally enjoyed the spectacle. The Song Mountain Sect's grandmaster laughed and said, "Although this young friend has no cultivation, his insight into the Sword Dao makes even us feel ashamed. If Elder Su doesn't believe it, you could seal your True Qi and simply test your swordsmanship against him…"
Hearing this, Su Qing didn't waste words. She tapped her shoulder twice, handed her sword to Li Nuo, and said, "I want to see if he is as formidable as you say."
Li Nuo caught the sword. Fighting a grandmaster head-on, unless he was foolish, he would never agree.
But a grandmaster who had sealed her cultivation, solely basing the contest on swordsmanship skill, he was unafraid.
In terms of swordsmanship, he understood her own techniques better than Lady Mother-in-law herself.
Su Qing watched him and said, "Go ahead, draw your sword."
Li Nuo raised his hand and attacked. Su Qing didn't even draw her sword. With her grandmaster's experience, handling a junior who wasn't even a Martial Artist required no swordsmanship.
But soon, she was forced to take him seriously.
Though his sword was not fast and his strikes were not strong, his swordsmanship was indeed tricky. Without using True Qi, she had to respond seriously.
What made her uncomfortable and incredulous was that during her earlier bouts with several Sword Path Masters, she had always maintained the upper hand and moved easily.
But in the contest with Li Nuo, she found no opportunity to attack.
No matter how her sword moves changed, his blade always appeared at angles that were most troublesome for her.
It was her first time in thirty years of practicing the sword that she felt so stifled.
His swordsmanship seemed specifically designed to counter hers.
Under Su Qing's relentless pressure, she found herself continuously retreating. In a moment of carelessness, her sword was directly knocked out of her hand.
Li Nuo's blade stopped three inches from her neck. Embarrassed, he said, "Lady Mother-in-law, please forgive the offense…"
